SSO: HeaderVariableLoginModule

55 Views

Hello experts,

I am facing an issue with the headervariableloginmodule. Currently the header value is set as USER_ID and the portal is authenticating any valid user if we are passing the user ID in the header variable USER_ID.

We recently decided to change the header value to IV-USER and we performed the change in the login module stack and restarted the server for the config. changes to take effect. Although the header value in the login module stack is IV-USER the authentication is failing if we pass a valid user ID in the parameter IV-USER. However, the authentication is still successful when I pass the user ID in the parameter USER_ID.

It looks like for some reason the new header value "IV-USER" is not taking effect.

Earlier in the login module stack:

headervariable - {ume.configuration.active=true, Header=USER_ID}

Login was successful when the user ID was passed in parameter USER_ID.

No in the login module stack:

headervariable - {ume.configuration.active=true, Header=IV-USER}

Login fails if the user ID is passed in parameter IV-USER but succeeds if the same is passed in parameter USER_ID

Please let me know if I have missed something.
